inc/dec ratings service
- I have written a new number 'rating' service type, called 'inc/dec'. it is simply a no-upper-limit positive integer--you left-click to increment, right to decrement. middle-click to edit directly
- it appears and works like other ratings in the top-right media viewer hover and the manage ratings dialog. there's a section under system:ratings too. the main logical difference is every file is always rated in this system--the default for all files is 0--so there's no searching for 'unrated'
- the duplicate merge options support this new inc/dec rating by adding/summing in one or both directions. its action labels in the dialog are a little different because of this
misc
- the manage tag siblings dialog now shows all members of a chain when it filters the current in-view pairs according to the current pertinent tags. previously, it just showed the pairs that included your entered tags; now it chases everything
- the same is also now broadly true of manage tag parents, but there's a checkbox that sets how crazy it goes. by default it won't pursue 'cousins', since that can make a really overwhelming list (imagine seeing every character nintendo ever created, including every pokemon, when you just wanted to add a samus costume variant). more work can and will be done here, also with sibling-cross referencing
- the system:ratings panel now lists the groups of rating services in alphabetical order
- fixed an issue where the hydrus native animation renderer was drawing animations at small size in the top-left with garbled surrounds when the monitor UI scale was >100% (issue #1334)
- I think I have hacked an ugly fix for the 'this window keeps growing horizontally until it reaches the width of the screen' bug that hits some people. the sizing code is now supposed to recognise when this happens and stop it in place. if you get this problem, let me know if it is fixed or what! (issue #1331)
- if a file in the duplicate filter (or any other media viewer, if you can wangle it) has a 'show action' of 'do not show in the media viewer' or 'do not show, open externally on thumbnail activate', the media viewer now falls back to 'show open externally button'. previously, it was halting in an ugly state and no longer able to proceed (issue #1329)
- if repository processing runs into any missing/invalid file trouble, it now queues up a wider array of potential file maintenance jobs, assuming there may be a problem with the file records themselves
- if, during repository processing, an update file is missing, the error note now asks users to run database->maintenance->clear orphan file records. might be that the above fix helps here too, but this will be the sledgehammer solution on top, clearing up unusual cases where one service thinks the files exist when actually they don't
- fixed the recent 'when ffmpeg can't generate a video thumb, use hydrus thumb' routine to cover more situations
- thanks to a user, fixed a bunch of unit tests for python 3.11
misc cleanup
- updated my async updater object to handle some pre-call UI-side argument-construction and cleaned up some related garbage shared memory hacks I had before
- in a step towards less laggy sibling/parents dialogs, I have moved the 'manage tag siblings' dialog's list-filtering routine to a thread. I'll do parents too, sometime, and plan to eventually move to very fast on-demand existing-pair fetching based on the above lookup rule improvements rather than the super laggy 'load everything on dialog boot' current system. a next big step would obviously be visual graph representation of sibling and parent chains
- cleaned some ratings code and fixed some weird little bugs like numerical rating tooltips not updating properly after a click
- added some unit tests for inc/dec ratings
server admin
- (the server and client both need to be updated to get this)
- I updated and reinstated the old 'superban' function for janitors! it is now just 'delete all account content' on the account modification dialog, separate from the banning process. note that since the server only remembers account ownership of content through the anonymisation period, it cannot auto-remove content older than that date!
- the account info you see in the modify account dialog now only shows file count/bytes for file repositories and tag counts for tag repositories. to improve readability, it also shows every key/value pair on a separate line, sorted by keys
- that account info now shows, for tag repositories, number of current, pending, and petitioned sibling and parent rows, and it shows number of petitioned mapping rows. all this stuff obviously goes to 0 if you hit 'delete all account content'--let me know if any of it doesn't!
- the modify accounts dialog no longer shows the 'null' account type as a choice to set things to. duh! its yes/no also now confirms the account type you are settting
- all the commands in the modify accounts dialog now have nicer yes/no dialogs that say the number of accounts being affected and talk more about what is happening
- fixed up some logical jank in the dialog. adding time to expires no longer tells you about 0 accounts having no expiry, and if circumstances mean 0 accounts are selected/valid for an operation, it no longer says 'want to set expiry for 0 accounts?' etc...
- when modifying multiple accounts, the current account focus/selection is now preserved through list refreshes after jobs go through
